The following variables are set by gnome-terminal:
- TERM
This
variable is set to "xterm" by default. Some curses
implementations and applications based on curses might want
the value to be xterm-color, color-xterm or xterm-debian to
support color. You might need to change this setting if
your application does not display in color to one of those
values.
- COLORTERM
This variable
is set to "xterm". Various applications (specially the
Slang-based applications) use this setting to determine if
the terminal supports color.
- WINDOWID
This variable
contains the X11 Window identifier. This is used sometimes
by applications to modify the contents of this window or
provide special effects.
